TLDR
A TENTATIVE HYPOTHESIS ADVANCED CONCERNING the RELATIONS AMONG AROUSAL, ACCIDENTS, and DRIVER BEHAVIOR is discussed and a TENTative HYpOTHESis ADVANCed in the RELATION MATRIX is discussed.Abstract:
LACK OF ALERTNESS IN MONOTONOUS WORK SITUATIONS MAY RESULT FROM LOWERED AROUSAL INDUCED BY RESTRICTED AND REPETITIVE STIMULATION. LINE DRIVING IS HELD TO BE MONOTONOUS IN THIS SENSE, HENSE, LABORATORY EVALUATION OF A DRIVER'S RESISTANCE TO MONOTONY SHOULD PREDICT HIS ACCIDENT RECORD. A HIGHLY REPETITIVE, 42-MIN. PACED TASK WAS PERFORMED UNDER CONTROLLED CONDITIONS BY 20 TRUCK DRIVERS. SELF-REPORTS ON MONOTONY SUSCEPTIBILITY, INTELLIGENCE TEST SCORES, AND PEER RATINGS WERE OBTAINED. SUPERVISORY RATINGS, TRAFFIC CONVICTIONS, AND OBJECTIVE SUPERVISORY RATINGS, TRAFFIC CONVICTIONS, AND OBJECTIVE DRIVING MEASURES WERE OBTAINED. SUPERVISORY RATINGS, TRAFFIC CONVICTIONS, AND OBJECTIVE DRIVING MEASURES WERE CRITERIA IN ADDITION TO ACCIDENT RECORDS. ACCIDENTS OF ONE TYPE WERE PREDICTED BY TASK ERRORS. OTHER RELATIONS IN THE CORRELATION MATRIX ARE DISCUSSED AND A TENTATIVE HYPOTHESIS ADVANCED CONCERNING THE RELATIONS AMONG AROUSAL, ACCIDENTS, AND DRIVER BEHAVIOR. /HSL/read more

Monotony of road environment and driver fatigue: a simulator study.
TL;DR: Results reveal an early time-on-task effect on driving performance for both driving periods and more frequent large SWM when driving in the more monotonous road environment, which implies greater fatigue and vigilance decrements.

Electroencephalogram and electrocardiograph assessment of mental fatigue in a driving simulator
TL;DR: The results show that the EEG alpha and beta, the relative power, the amplitude of P300 wave of event-related potential (ERP), the approximated entropy of the ECG, and the lower and upper bands of power of heart rate variability (HRV) are significantly different before and after finishing the driving task (p<0.05).
